How to Make Best Black Magic Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup freshly brewed hot coffee.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. The batter will be thin.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around 30 minutes.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
